• 6-7 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 cans of garbanzo beans (do not drain liquid)
• 5 to 6 medium russet potatoes, cubed (about 1 1/2 inches)

• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 2 quarts of water
• 2 bay leaves
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 ham bone or 1 pound of cubed ham
• 2 chorizo sausage sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Sauté the green pepper and onion in olive oil until tender, about 5
minutes. Add garlic and sauté about 1 minute. Add Vigo saffron
powder and mix well.

Add potatoes and coat with the saffron so they
are yellow. Add the beans, water, bay leaves, oregano and the ham or
ham bone. Bring to a boil and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for
about 3 -4 hours.

If you are using the cubed ham cook until the
potatoes are tender. Add the chorizo about 30 minutes before
serving.

Serve with cuban bread.
